GLUTEN FREE FEATHERLIGHT VINEGAR PASTRY
This is a gluten free pie crust recipe that I got when I attended a gluten free cooking class put on by my local grocery store. A lady that I work with who is an excellent pie baker said that this crust was very good. She had no idea that it was gluten free. I use recipe #289608 for my flour mix. Makes a two crust pie or two single pie crusts. Cook time is for a baked pie shell. Refrigeration time not included.
